Bart Van Cauwenberghe

Talk with Bart Van Cauwenberghe for 10 minutes and you’ll learn
more about taste and taste combinations than you can from any book.
This man – who calls himself a taste designer – breathes, thinks
and eats taste. He perfectly understands how taste works: what we
taste first, second and last. He knows how textures amplify, carry
or disguise taste. He knows why some flavours go together and
others don’t.
In short, this flavour genius is the perfect man to create a great
new praline. For inspiration he turned to the flavours of Africa.

Find out how Bart creates this multi-texture sensation and balances
out flavours until he gets the perfect praline. Simply amazing! And
also find out why sustainable choices are dear to him. His visits
to plantations in Brazil and Trinidad have taught him that growing
great chocolate can turn the income of farmers into a sustainable
income. And that’s a start for a better quality of life.
